Local gym instructor experienced rare blood clots after receiving Johnson & Johnson vaccine
Johnson & Johnson said one of six women who experience blood clots after receiving their COVID-19 vaccine is a local gym instructor.
PHILADELPHIA - A Pennsylvania woman is one of the six women who developed a rare blood clotting disorder after receiving the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine, the pharmaceutical company said Wednesday.
The 26-year-old woman is a gym instructor in the Pennsylvania-New Jersey area. Johnson & Johnson said the woman experienced symptoms including headache, abdominal pain, rapid heart rate and low blood platelets.
7th Case of Rare, Severe Blood Clot Linked to J&J Vaccine
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on April 14 that it learned of a seventh woman who developed a rare and severe type of blood clot after receiving the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine.
The seventh possible patient was identified as a 28-year-old woman, as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices debates whether the J&J vaccine should be used. The committee said more information is needed to make an informed recommendation.
Several million doses of the J&J vaccine have been administered so far, meaning that the risk of developing clots appears to be extremely low.

The quality of air inhaled isn t something Americans consciously think about every day, but World Health Organization research reveals that 92 percent of the global population lives in places with unhealthy air quality.
Air pollution can come from transportation, coal-fired power plants, industrial activity, and other human-perpetuated activity as well as natural events like dust storms and wildfires. These invisible pollutants in the air can create smog and acid rain and can lead to serious health problems. Air pollution causes about 1 in 8 deaths worldwide and accounts for many instances of chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer, strokes, and heart attacks. Ozone, which is the main ingredient in smog, can also increase the risk of asthma.
